I'm not saying Pacquiao wouldn't have beat him anyway because styles make the fights. I'm just saying that he looked pretty damn fit last night.

He needs to take more easy fights to boost his confidence further and then step it up in the middle of next year. maybe get him a fight every 2 months against a bum or prospect to get him back in the hunt. Definitely put him in with Bruce Banner aka Margarito without his cinderblock wraps. I think thats an easy fight and a great confidince booster.

Maybe later he can step up and fight guys like Alfredo Angulo or James Kirkland when he's free. Cotto should tell that lanky bastard P.Will to **** off and fight Chad Dawson at a 168lbs catch weight, and tell Kermit to jump back in his pond because they're both all wrong for him. I think Cottos' gonna be fine at this weight though and finish out the rest of his career in a respectable way.

I completely agree. I'm not a person that looks for excuses after fights but a couple of days before the fight when Cotto tried to hit the catchweight he looked drained as **** and obviously you could see at the last 24/7 before the fight that he was starving himself to make the weight, while Pacquiao feasted on lobster and didn't have to sacrifice any of his nutrition..

That being said I think that a healthy Cotto would have put a way closer fight than the first time around but the outcome will always be the same, Cotto's style is made for Pacquiao.

The fight yesterday did not prove anything but Cotto is not totally shot.I thought it was a good fight but what if Yuri had some power?I believe cotto would have been in more trouble.But Yuri had enough heart.
